HUMAN AID & ADVOCACY 

Human Aid & Advocacy supports survivors of war and persecution through sustainable aid programmes while addressing the real causes of conflict. Our Advocacy will draw public attention to the real causes of war and persecution of Muslims while providing a voice to the survivors and advocating justice for them. We aim to do this via awareness campaigns and telling stories that are often ignored.
